The Ace Bodyguard: The City's Big Shots Protect My Red

Retired top ace Lu Chen is urgently hired for a one-month short-term security contract to personally protect the cold business magnate Jiang Mianwan. Anonymous threats, secret voyeurism, and ruthless schemes from rivals lurk in every corner of the bustling city. He is taciturn, rigid, and strictly adheres to all security boundaries, guarding against every risk. By day, he follows her every step, eliminating all hidden dangers; by night, he stands watch alone, bearing the perils of the dark. Initially, she resents his control and resists, eager for the contract to end and drive him away. But as crises are resolved—a deadly ambush at a banquet, a life-saving bullet block on a high-rise—he shields her with his own body. Her heart gradually falls, love quietly grows. She takes the initiative to pursue him across the city. He is moved but haunted by his past, restrained by reason. A blade wandering in darkness, born to bear endless danger. He knows they are from different worlds—one in the sunlight, the other surviving on the edge of a knife. A month-long protection, an unforgettable encounter. He endures pain, withdraws, and leaves, severing all ties.
